Matiasovich rolled through the checkers third with Church a distant fourth. Church shot hi Honda inLO the lead at the start of moLO twO with Skibel, Matiasovich and Riverside Suzuki's Robert Cadwell close behind. Park and Szusko tangled on the first lap, but only Park went down, remounting second to last. Szusko went on LO pass everyone except Church by the third lap. Park really had his hands full, but he didn't let it show as he worked his way up to fourth by the sixth lap. It didn't look likely that Park would be able LO repeat his firstmoLO performance, as Church was out in front by a comfortable 20 seconds, and Matiasovich and Szusko were riding fast and smooth. Park obviously knows nothing about the odds, as he dispatched Matiasovich and Szuskowith ease, and went on to pass Church on lap 12. Park went on LO take the win and was the only Intermediate not to be lapped by 250,c Pro winner Greg Zillerkopf (Kaw). Church's 4-2 earned him second place honors, while Matiasovich's 3-3 put him in third. Results PEE WEE: 1. Troy Haling (Vam); 2. Robert Cole (Suz): 3. Usa Paterson (Suz). DIV III:'.

Montgomery, Lawsonwage Open-class feud at Corona By Nate Rauba CORONA, CA, MAR. 9 Kevin Momgomery swept both motos to win the Open Intermediate class tonight at Corona Raceway, easily winning the first moto and then balliing with Honda-mounted Ron Lawson for the overall decision in moLO two. Rincon Kawasaki's Paul Herman led Montgomery (MT Motor Works! (Yam) through the first turn in moto one, but the Yamaha rider stole the lead before they completed the lap. As Montgomery put distance on Herman, Lawson was looking LO take over second and applied the pressure to Herman. For three laps Herman fought Lawson off, but heading into the final go-around Lawson pulled alongside, then snuck by the Kawasaki pilot. Montgomery completed the moLO alone in first while Lawson held second ahead of Herman. MOLO two saw Lawson leap into the lead with Montgomery and Anaheim uzukj's Mark ewton trailing. Montgomery stayed close LO Lawson for the first lap and a half, then made his move and took over the lead. Lawson didn't let him out of his sights though, and on the following lap nearly regained first. Over a table top jump, Lawson flew alongside Montgomery, then pulled in front of him through the whoop section that followed. Lawson's lead was brief as Montgomery got the better jump over the final whoop and pulled alongside and just beat Lawson to the next turn and shut him off. Montgomery was through fighting for the night and preceded LO pull away. Lawson had put enough distance on Bob Tippit (Kaw) to secure second. In the closing laps, Tippit dropped out and Karl Holmberg (Hon) took over third LO capture third overall. Mike Fitzgerald (Team Tamm! Oakley/Hon) easily won the opening 250cc Novice moLO after inheriting a rather large lead when Mike Magallanes (Yam) crashed half way through the race. Second was up for grab though as Joe Shmoe (Hon), Jeff Stevens (Team Diamond Bar! Yam), and Jim Stentz ballled wheelto-wheel for nearly the entire moto. Steven would try LO move into second in almost every comer but was thwarted every time. On the last lap, hmoe almo t gave hi position up when he got sideways overajump, but aved it and hung on LO finish second over Stevens and tentz. Magallanes came back in the second moLO with a gate-to-flag win. Fitzgerald wasn'tabout to race with Magallanes and hung back in second, fighting of[ tevens during the late laps of the race to capture the overall vicLOry with a 1-2 score. Honda-mounted Chris Cadman made a last-lap pass to finish third, but Stevens still retained runner-up with a 3-4 tally. Magallanes LOok third overall by way of his second moLO vicLOry. • 5,555 PRIZES. WIN ONE IF YOUR FREE GAME PUZZLE MATCHES OUR DISPLAY.
